Abstract Hybridization can result in the transfer of adaptive genetic material from one species to another, known as introgression. Bottlenecked (and hence genetically depleted) are expected be particularly receptive introgression, since introgression introduce new or previously lost variation. The Alpine ibex ( Capra ), which recently recovered near extinction, is hybridize with domestic goat aegagrus hircus and signals found at major histocompatibility complex were suggested potentially...
Abstract Population bottlenecks can have dramatic consequences for the health and long‐term survival of a species. Understanding historic population size standing genetic variation prior to contraction allows estimating impact bottleneck on species' diversity. Although sizes be modelled based extant genomics, uncertainty is high last 10–20 millenia. Hence, integrating ancient genomes provides powerful complement retrace evolution diversity through fluctuations. Here, we recover 15...
Abstract Introgression is expected to be adaptive at loci under balancing selection, for instance relevant the immune response, but these generally also contain ancient polymorphisms. Ancient genomics a promising tool detect recent introgression and disentangle it from Alpine ibex ( Capra ), wild goat species native European Alps, faced near-extinction two centuries ago, has recovered thanks successful restoration programs. Previously, signals of domestic aegagrus hircus ) into genome were...
